First off, I'd like to apologize for not updating this in a long time. When people say Junior year of high school is really tough... they are not lying in the slightest. I haven't had time, even on the weekends, to write a blog. However, after the very fun win over Saint Francis tonight I couldn't help myself, I needed to share it.
Tonight was awesome. Our student section was as loud and into the game as they have ever been and combined with it being senior night, against our rival school, there was magic in the atmosphere. There is nothing more fun than playing in that game! This was a special night for myself, but I know this will be an unforgettable night for the Bellarmine seniors who I love to death. Congratulations to Tony Galli, Jack Fordyce, Nick McCue, and Griffin Goudreau.
It was an ugly game. There were a lot of things we could have done better, but you know what, even an ugly victory in a game like that makes you feel like you are on cloud nine. For Saint Francis, Jimmy Frazier, Drew Dickey, and Khalid Johnson all played amazing games. And for the Bells, it was a special night for Nick McCue. He knocked down multiple threes all throughout the game and just played an awesome game tonight. In addition, we had great contributions from Tony Galli, one of the nicest and most respectable men you will ever meet, and Jack Fordyce, another great guy, also played an amazing game tonight.
But I need to get some sleep, so there isn't much more I can say.
I love my team and I am so happy of how we preformed tonight. With the way league plays out it is likely we will get a rematch again vs. Saint Francis at Bellarmine next tuesday night! I can't wait!
